RECORD FIRST ALBUM
Music students fulfilling dream By Dan Bennett Everyone has dreams they would like to fulfill, and goals they hope to achieve. In many cases it may be years before these can be realized . Two Palomar students hope they m ay be on the way to rea lizing theirs. Joe Mersch and Ca rol Wallace have been singing together for years. Alumni of Orange Glen High School, they were active in the school's Theatre Department. They sing for ch urch groups, local restaurants, and various organizations, their hard work a nd dedication h as now given them a well deserved opportunity - the recording of their own a lbum. Tentatively titled Summer, Winter, it is being recorded at the Stan Ferris studi o in San Diego.
Mersch tells how the recording came about, "Ro n Com pton , who owns the studio, wanted to find a group, record them , and try to sell the record to a major label. A mu sician for the studio, Dave Pollard, played with us on one of our outings. He recommended us to Ron, we made a demo tape , a nd he liked it." Mersch and Wa ll ace sing "folk jazz with a Christian¡ theme. " Mersch plays guitar on the a lbum , and they have written a ll their own material. As well as his guitar they will have the sounds of a bassist, a drumm er , a pianist, another guitar and possibly a synthesizer. "The objective," he says, "is to eve ntually sell the record to a major label. There are many Christian labels we hope to interest." In the meantime, they hope to sell the
record to bookstores, possibly so me local christi a n radio stations, and most importanty, to their audiences at upcoming concerts . "This su mm er we will try to get to church camps a ll over the state," said Mersch . "Just having a record to sell at your co ncerts is very beneficia l. If people like you , they' ll buy yo u. Th at's the whole id ea." The date of release for the record is undeterm in ed. As of now, they h ave compl eted the rhythm tracks a nd are ju t beginning on the vocals. With co mpl etion and a moderate amount of success on the a lbum , they hope more will be on the way. But sti ll , Mersch insists on kee ping things simple. "My ma in goal is to do thi s and get by. I don't have to be a star. This is just something I like to d0. "
SING A SONG- Palomar students Joe M ersch and Carol Wallace perform their music. They are recording their first album tentatively titled, Summ er , Winter. Although the release date has not been decided, th ey ha ve th e album 's rhythm tracks completed and are starting on th e vocals.

New clocks still don't tick-tock
NEW NEWSPAPER HOLDERS- Two Palomar students pull The Telescope {rom one of the several new holders placed around the campus. t Ph oto by W.. John Jo:amer l
New newspaper holders installed for 'Telescope' Students and faculty can now pick up their weekly issue of The Telescope in new wooden newspaper holders in several strategically placed spots around the campus. With these new holders, The Telescope feels that the circulation ofthe paper will become more efficient and have a more profession a l-look. Several areas where the h olders have been placed are: on the wall in ES-18 and 19, on the door near the
library, on the stairs to the new admini str ation building, by P-33, by P-17, in the cafeteri a by the cigarette machine , and on the wall by the Music Department's board. The Telescope would like to tha nk Dr. Omar Scheidt, President of the Coll ege, Dr. John Schettler, Assistant Superintendent in Ch arge of Business, and Dr. Kenneth Burns, Dean of Student Personnel Services for their cooperation.
Scholarships offered at UCR $25 ,000 for a merit scholarship program here has been designated by the University of California at Riverside. Awards of $500 will be made to qualified students transferring for the fall quarter, 1979. The awards will be based on the academic performance of the transferring student a long with letters of recommendation and a statement of goals.
The m1mmum grade point average for consideration is a 3.0 (based on a 4 point scale) in transferable cou rses to UCR. March 15 is the deadline for scholarship applications.
The seminar will be held while on tour in Mexico. Three units may be obtained by registering for the
Two co ntractors were involved in the installation of the buildings. One of them , Modulaire L easing Company of Los Angeles which specializes in model buildings, is responsible for putting in the control box.
For over a year now, since the buildings were constructed, the 25 or so clocks have not ti cked one second nor tacked one minute. Th e reason for this non-ti ck-toc k in the clocks is due to a stolen co ntrol box. This co ntrol box cost about $800 and co ntains the wiring of the clocks and th e fire a larm syste m that connects it with the rest of the college's clocks a nd fire alarm systems.
Dr. John D. Schettler, Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Business states, " We kn ow it (the co ntrol box) arri ved and we kn ow it was delivered. But after that we know nothing. We' ve presumed that it was stol en ." The co llege has sin ce been trying to get Modulaire to get a new control box, but it h as n 't h ad much success with the company. It would be a rou nd a $1500 loss , including the
price of the clocks, to the co llege if they don 't get them workin g. But Dr. Schettler remarks , "We haven't lost sight of it. I think we've been extremely patient with the company." Dr. Schettler's office has been writing letters monthly to the compa ny to no avail, but the time may not only be seven o'clock but also the time to act. Th e college co uld take M odulaire to co urt to get them to fulfill their obligation. But for the meantime, the big ha nd will still be on th e twelve and the little one on the seven. The ex pression on th e faces of the clocks and the people who look at the clocks won 't change.
'Unique' works showing now Unique works in plaster, pastel and co ll age by Robin Bright will be show n in the &ehm Gallery until April 17. &rn in New Yor k City in 1934, Bright has studi ed at the Boston Museum School, the University of New Mexico , and the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and has been in several different exhibiti ons for the past four years. His works are quiet, passive and economi cally co mposed, a nd the display in the current exhibit refl ects thi s by showing only 22 of hi s works in a s impl e, restrai ned manner. These pieces cover the past ten years of hi s work. Of Bright's talent, Boehm Director Russell Baldwin states, "He is private, sensual . .. He is quietly seductive."

The loser and still champ ... By Richard Medu gno
You know, people are really stupid. I'm mean, people in general. Man touts himself as th e number one creature on earth. What a weak champion he is, in deed.
Why does h e continue to drink beyond reasonable limits with th e knowledge that alcohol affects brain cells detrimentally?
Why does he take drugs? Drugs that pollute a nd imbalance his system. Drugs that alters his mind. The mind that One of the reasons mankind is suppose makes him the so-called champion ofthe to be above other animals is the fact that world. he has intelligence and knowledge. Why does he continue to eat so much sugar that dissolves teeth and clogs Yet, why does he continue to smoke arteries? Why does he substitute cigarettes more and more, when he receives more and more information on saccharin which is linked to cancer causes? its deadliness?
Reader's Forum Editor criticized To the editor, In regard to your request for feedback, we at the Women's Center wou ld like to offer our perspective on your publication . Wehavereceiveda number of complaints from both men and wom en in response to arti cles in your last issue (Feb. 16) . We feel that writing of this type in the media encourages attitudes which are harmful to both men and women. Specifi cally , the im plications behind your jokes on rape perpetuate the myth that violence against women is Funny. " Writer steps into Manhood ?" exploits another myth which has created poor role models for men. This is the idea that men can only express their sexuality in a way tha t denies th em a full range of their caring feelings. It implies a fals e standard for manhood which defines a true man as one who can not relate to woman as people and who must express hi sexuality at the expense of someone else. At the Women ' Center we are working to abolish these binding stereotypes. It is our hope that in the future men and wom en will be able to relate to each other a s people and not be confined to restrictive roles. Ca roline Th eiss Geraldine Henchy Palomar 's Women's Center
Why does man continue to drive his little a utomobile in which thousands die in each year? And his automobile that dirties his horizon. Why? Why this self-destruction? What use is his knowledge if he ignores it? Ah, so many questwns that w111 never he answered. Man, oh, man the smartest stupid, the craftiest clumsy, and quickest slow fighter ever to win the title.
Wisdom &Witticisms By Richard Medugno Back in the eighteenth century a guy named Ben Franklin put out a publication known as Poor Richard's Almanack, and in it were many now famous quotations. Well, Wisdom and Witticisms has recently looked these quotes over and amended, altered and brought up-to-date these quotes in its own untouchable style. Hold onto the newpaper and get ready for Rich Richard's Wisecracks:
He that can have patience , can have what he will. And he that wills can't have patience.

Hello, sir. How are you today? MAN. Fine, thank you. (He drops his items on the counter for the CASHIER.) CASHIER. Ut-oh. It looks like you have 11 items here , sir. MAN. Yes, you're right.

Pro eager discusses success Sidney Wicks and Nick Weatherspoon , members of the San Diego Clippers basketball team , are two positive a nd professional men. In a n interview with Palom ar student Joseph A. Wells they aired their views on college, motivation , and bas ketball. This is the second of a two-part series. Nick Weatherspoon . Question: Wh a t kind of basketball players is the NBA looking for ? Weatherspoon: A player who gets into position , who sets up for the correct shot and makes a ppropriate passes . That is basi call y what the NBA is looking for. I tell the brothers that if they Jearn to think the game of basketba ll , a who le new insight to the game will open for th em. Question: How long h a ve you been playing pro basketball? Weath erspoon: This is my sixth year. J feel that the work I have don e was not in vain. For the most part, I worked hard on getting my game together. I also managed to stay away from the things that can sidetrack a brother a nd ever ything worked out a ll right. Ques tion: How did you feel when you were in a college situation?
Weath erspoon: It was rough , because I was a younger ma n then. Fortunately, I realized what came first in my life . I strongly believe th at a person 's knowledge can not be taken away. &l the play is to go to school and hit those books hard. An athlete must be able to go in various directions. Just to think in one direction would be unrea listic. A person must also pursue something that he can fall back on. Ques tion: What college did you attend? Wea th erspoon: I attP.nded the Univers ity of Illinois where the total e nrollment was over 35,000 students, with only 2,000 black students. To me, this was a big difference. .Question: Did this bother you? Weath erspoon: No! You should not a ll ow anything to bother you. You must stick to your ambi tions a nd forget about the outside distractions , because they are there. You see, Joe, one thin g that most brothers forget is that coll ege only lasts for a short a mount of time. If you don 't accomplish anything, then you have been just wasting your tim e.
lc}uestion: Do you think that oth er people are inspired by the way you handle yo urse lf on th e basketball court? Weatherspoon: I hope so! Because that is really what it is a ll about. The yo unger peopl e wil l eventually come a long a nd continue to do their thing. So if what J do can inspire them to put in that extra effort, then I would feel complete beca use inspiration is t h e key to the concept of motivation. Question¡ &l in essence, a person does not have to be ultra-talented, but if they work hard at something: the ski ll s a nd specia l abilities that it takes to achieve success will develop? Weath erspoon: For sure, just like a ll phases of Ji fe , you work at something with a seriou s frame of mind ; the things that you accompli s h will grow in number with the high er amount of quality . Because h ard work definitely pays off.
Women swim to easy win
Things got rolling as .Palomar rolled off five straight with center Mike Babin and forward Gerrald Benson leading the charge. Guards Gary Davila a nd Ivan "Scr appy" Hamilton continued the scoring binge that gave them a conforta ble nine points at halftime. Hamilton's three point play with 9:36 remaining gave the locals their biggest lead at 56-42. The Knights, seemingly finished , pulled within three points on a Zach Jones layup with 2:40 to play. Palomar then streaked in front to stay. The Comets put five players in double figures , led by Davila's 18 and Benson's 18 points. Earli er, Citrus forward Kelly Johnson poured on a game high 37 points February 21. However, t his
Netmen top Saddleback host Chaffey here today Rob Hogrefe won first in singles Tuesday, but Palomar was beaten by Saddleback in its men's tennis opener, 8- 1. "Sa ddleback's good, but they maybe sho uld have beaten us , 5-4. We didn't play very well," PC coach Jon Cnossen said. Hogrefe's win cam e by a 6-3 , 6-2 score ove r the Gauchos' No.1 player, Ricy Se bti. The Co mets will return to action Thursday when they host Chaffey in a~ p.m. match.
didn't stop the Comets from runn!ng over the Owls 85-75. After suffering through a four minute dry spell, Palomar slowly marched their way back, pulling in front where John Tatum sank a jumper for a two point halftime lead. Second half action remained closed until a 10 to 2 scoring spurt put the Cagers ahead 75-63. Citrus held on refusing to give in, pulling to 75-73 before Palomar finished them off. Hamilton tossed in 21 points , while Davila and Babin added 17 and 18 points, respectively.
